Oil companies risk the North Pole
]] Greenpeace Mediterranean Communications Officer Call Extractturk, which states that the most important reason for the melting of the North Pole is dirty fuel consumption, is vital in keeping the global climate in balance. But when calules quickly melt record, oil companies see it as the opportunity to gain instead of a warning.
